Not terrified. I'd just rather not have policy based on a 16 year old actress.

So was Hitler and Khomeini

Damned Democrat racists and misogynists.

According to some pretty soon we'll have tropical climates here in Ohio. Winning! Ok, Ok,....just kidding.

Of course there's no evidence. And yes I did read it all. If you can't see the connections... And I'm not talking just HB now. While we take D and R sides we're all getting fucked. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

So using your examples...this article from Politico. It's a long read but in my mind these guys are dirty. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/08/02/joe-biden-investigation-hunter-brother-hedge-fund-money-2020-campaign-227407

Didn't you just make my point? A flat tax doesn't allow the wealthy to use loopholes and avoid paying.

Let's use 10% as a number just because it's easy for me to wrap my Boomer brain around. If I make $50,000 I pay $5K in tax. $500K? $50K in taxes. Explain how this is unfair to the poor and seniors.

The title is from the lyrics of this song. I didn't make it up. And again rich is subjective. That's why I think a flat tax is the most fair.

I didn't say I believed it. It's almost impossible to find a source that can be believed.

This came up on FB today. Anyone care to comment? Here’s a Summary for those of you who care to know the REAL reason why the House of Representatives are calling for impeachment of President Trump. Hunter Biden is former Vice-President Joe Biden’s son. He is 45 years old with a long history of drug abuse. Hunter Biden was kicked out of the military in 2014 for testing positive for cocaine. Shortly after that he was appointed to the board of directors of Burisma, Ukraine’s largest private producer of gas. Two weeks before he was appointed, his father the Vice President of the United States encouraged Ukrainian leaders to place him on their board. Hunter Biden has ZERO experience or knowledge in the gas industry or in the Ukraine. He was paid $50,000 a month for his position on the board and a money transfer of 3 MILLION dollars was made from the Ukraine through Latvia, Cyprus, and finally to the US into accounts owned by Hunter Biden. The top prosecutor in the Ukraine was investigating corruption and was getting ready to interview Hunter Biden regarding his dealings with Burisma and the apparent money laundering of the 3 million dollars. Before hunter Biden could be interviewed Joe Biden leaned on the Ukrainian government and threatened to withhold over 250 MILLION in US foreign aid unless the prosecutor was fired. The prosecutor was fired. The investigation into hunter Biden and Burisma ended, the Ukraine got the financial aid. Hunter Biden was also involved in a deal with China where his father the Vice President was working on US business. This deal netted hunter Biden over 1.5 BILLION dollars! That story will bust wide open next. I mean what would cause China to hand over 1.5 BILLION dollars to a known drug addict who just happens to be the son of the Vice-President? Think that through America. It gets worse!! The Vice-President Joe Biden took his son Hunter on Air Force Two with him to China in 2013. Ten DAYS after that trip, the Bank of China signed this deal with Hunter Biden’s company for over a 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS!! Some of this money went to a company called Henniges who makes very sensitive military equipment for the US military. Wanna know who else was involved in the China deal as Hunter Biden’s Partners? You can’t make this stuff up people! While John Kerry was Secretary of State his stepson Chris Heinz and mob boss Whitey Bulger’s nephew Billy Bulger were partners in the company along with Hunter Biden. Wow right? The sons of the two most prominent decision makers in America!! How did that escape scrutiny!! Amazing how the media isn’t even a tiny bit interested in this, and how as soon as it starts getting reported, they start impeachment proceedings against President Trump! They are hoping no one is paying attention, that the American people are too stupid, lazy, indifferent, and apathetic to pay attention. Don’t be one of those Americans. For goodness sake wake up and start actually thinking again instead of letting the media tell you what and when to be outraged about. Good grief what has happened to critical thinking?? Do most people even know they are merely pawns? AND I won’t even be a tiny bit surprised if Facebook removes this post so you might want to screen shot and/or share it quickly if you choose.

I'm not an economist. Based on the examples here maybe we need to tax the crap out of the "rich".

Rich is too subjective. Depends on your point of view.

Not suggesting that 10% is the correct number. Just the concept.

Rate. 10% across the board as an example.

First you need a balanced budget amendment.

Must have missed that. Everyone should pay the same amount of taxes. Cue the examples of wealthy people paying less..

WTF are you guys talking about?

Let's add up all of the taxes in her plan 2% over $50,000,000.00 3% over a billion. (actually now it's 6%. If I choose to leave the country 40%? 7% corporate over $100 million in profits (most of the folks being targeted with the personal taxes are also business owners) Increase the SS contribution from 12.4% to 14.8%. Self employed take the pipe on this one.. I'm telling you now, these taxes will drive businesses to reduce their size and/or move their location. Business will again be on the defensive. But I know you don't care about that as long as you get your free stuff.

Many conditions that might explain the U.S. health disadvantage—from individual behaviors to systems of care—are also influenced by the physical and social environment in U.S. communities. For example, built environments that are designed for automobiles rather than pedestrians discourage physical activity. Patterns of food consumption are also shaped by environmental factors, such as actions by the agricultural and food industries, grocery store and restaurant offerings, and marketing. U.S. adolescents may use fewer contraceptives because they are less available than in other countries. Similarly, more Americans may die from violence because firearms, which are highly lethal, are more available in the United States than in peer countries. A stressful environment may promote substance abuse, physical illness, criminal behavior, and family violence. Asthma rates may be higher because of unhealthy housing and polluted air. In the absence of other transportation options, greater reliance on automobiles in the United States may be causing higher traffic fatalities. And when motorists do take to the road, injuries and fatalities may be more common if drunk driving, speeding, and seatbelt laws are less rigorously enforced, or if roads and vehicles are more poorly designed and maintained. Explain to me how a single payer system changes these problems. BTW...I'm all for a single payer system.

Because that seems to be the plan

Elizabeth Warren's tax plan will be a big drain on the economy. Does she really believe those being targeted won't find a way to avoid that tax? To be fair I do like the "Excessive Lobbying Tax". https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/05/these-are-the-taxes-elizabeth-warren-has-proposed-for-2020.html

Actually there will have to be a manual override. Plenty of scenarios where I might want to take over. Bad guy standing in front of my autonomous car? I'd like to have the ability to decorate my hood with his innards if need be.

My son-in-law works for Aurora Innovations. https://aurora.tech/aurora-driver They are deep into the autonomous car. He freely admitted that snow covered roads present a huge problem they haven't answered yet.

I overlapped once...took out the whole formation
